About 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight. It is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreases usually produce enough insulin, but the body is unable to use the insulin effectively, resulting in a condition called insulin resistance. After several years, insulin production decreases and the result is the same as for type 1 diabetes i.e., glucose builds up in the blood and the body cannot make efficient use of its main source of fuel. In the long term, diabetes also leads to other related problems like atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, retinal damage, neurological damage, and blindness due to spikes in blood sugar in patients during the day.

Description

    FIELD OF INVENTION
  • The present invention describes a palatable and orally administrable form of composition comprising proteins, galactomannans and base matrix optionally along with acceptable additives.
  • BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART OF THE INVENTION
  • Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent degenerative diseases, which is generally characterized by the abnormalities in the body's ability to use sugar. Mainly three forms namely Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes and Gestational diabetes are known to occur. However, the diabetes epidemic relates particularly to type 2 diabetes and is largely discussed here in the context of trigonella.
  • Diabetes type 1 is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the body's immune system turns against a part of the body. In diabetes, the immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas and destroys them resulting in production of very little or no insulin. Therefore, a person afflicted by type 1 diabetes is dependent on daily dose of insulin. At present, scientists however have not been able to underpin the exact causes for the body's immune system to attack the beta cells, but they believe that autoimmune genetic, and environmental factors are involved. It develops most often in children and young adults, but can appear at any age. The gestational diabetes is however largely observed in pregnant women and is mainly characterized by temporary imbalance of the blood sugar level.
  • Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes afflicting approximately 90-95% of the people. This form of diabetes is generally associated with older age, obesity, family history, previous history of gestational diabetes, physical inactivity and ethnicity. About 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight. It is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreases usually produce enough insulin, but the body is unable to use the insulin effectively, resulting in a condition called insulin resistance. After several years, insulin production decreases and the result is the same as for type 1 diabetes i.e., glucose builds up in the blood and the body cannot make efficient use of its main source of fuel. In the long term, diabetes also leads to other related problems like atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, retinal damage, neurological damage, and blindness due to spikes in blood sugar in patients during the day.
  • Currently, there is no cure for diabetes. The use of prescription drugs can help control diabetes symptoms and keep the disease from progressing; however, diabetes patients can also adopt various lifestyle changes to help control the disease.
  • One of the first lifestyle changes recommended to diabetics by health care practitioners is to follow guidelines for good general health, which includes indulging in regular physical activity, avoiding smoking, maintaining a healthy body weight, consuming a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, multivitamin/mineral dietary supplement and omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), and avoiding saturated fats.
  • Amongst many approaches gaining popularity are adopting healthy glycemic practices. A lifestyle change, diabetics can pursue is to control the disease by managing blood glucose levels through diet. This is being done by developing and introducing ingredients designed to modulate blood sugar. An important approach towards achieving this is the intake of diet comprising proteins, galactomannans and base matrix along with acceptable additives as a composite extract obtained from the herb Trigonella foenum-graecum, popularly known as fenugreek. The extract is compositely known as TEESTAR™. The method of extraction of active ingredient of the Teestar™ has been explained in detail under patent application No. PCT/IN2007/000580.
  • The present invention deals with incorporating the extract, Teestar™ in a clinically validated comestible form. This approach can particularly prove beneficial, even for otherwise healthy individuals who are at increased risk of developing diabetes or pre-diabetic patients. Generally, among diabetics, each 1-percentage-point reduction in blood sugar causes a 40-percent reduction in the risk of microvascular complications including eye, kidney and nerve diseases. In general, diets lacking adequate dietary fiber may put individuals at risk of developing Type II diabetes.
  • The intake of food affects the body's need for insulin and its ability to lower blood sugar. Diet is therefore found to be the cornerstone in diabetes treatment. Research of Paul F. Jacques in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests, whole grains appear to be beneficial with respect to insulin levels and potentially with respect to diabetes risk. Whole-wheat products like crackers have been recommended as part of healthy snacks for diabetic.
  • OBJECTIVE OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

  • An open label, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, three arm (test 1, test 2 and placebo), multiple dose efficacy study in healthy human subjects. Subjects received the IP twice daily for 7 consecutive days, 20 minutes prior to a standardized meal.
  • The main selection criteria of subjects understudy were healthy adult males aged between 18 to 45 years (both ages inclusive), who gave informed written consent; subjects weighing as per the standard height and weight; subject whose pre-study screening laboratory tests, X-ray and 12 lead ECG are either normal or within acceptable limits; subject with negative test for drugs of abuse, RPR, Hepatitis B, C, HIV 1 and 2; subject available for the entire study period and capable of understanding and communicating with the investigators and clinical study facility staff.
  • All subjects enrolled received the investigational products, as per their treatment assignment either to the test arm 1 or test arm 2 or placebo arm, for a period of 7 days. Subjects received either Teestar™ 2×500 mg capsules, Teestar™ 5 crackers or Placebo 2×500 mg capsules twice daily for 7 consecutive days. The sequence of assigning the treatment was determined by a randomization scheme generated using SAS®.
  • The blood glucose concentrations were evaluated for the test groups in comparison to placebo at all time points during the course of study period. Serum insulin levels were analyzed for 9 randomly selected subjects (3 from each arm) at all time points on day 2 and day 7.
  • Descriptive statistical analysis and 2-sided t-test were used, as planned in the protocol. Summary statistics of individual and mean blood glucose concentrations in all three treatment arms over all the time points after each of the two dosings in a day, on all 7 days were provided.
  • The study demonstrates an effective and statistically significant reduction of mean blood glucose levels in Teestar™ fed groups, both in Capsule and Cracker form, in comparison to placebo control at 60 minutes after the morning dose when tested at a 10% level of significance. However the effects shown by the cracker formulation was greater than those achieved by the capsule form as reflected in the data above.
  • Results
  • There were no test product related adverse event(s) reported during the course of the study. Table 4 shows comparative table for the Mean Blood Glucose levels at time points at 60 minutes for Teestar™ cracker Vs Placebo (Morning). Table 5 shows comparative table for the Mean Blood Glucose levels at time points at 60 minutes for Teestar™ capsule Vs Placebo (Morning).
